'Don't go anywhere else because only our thoughts, products and methods are best.' A basically selfish approach and not motivated for the common good. Could there even exist a political party that would focus on the common good?? Maybe it was a temporary outage, sorry, for, TaDah, here we are again :)

Um, did you notice the Bush II administration? Their motto might have well have been "L'Etat, c'est moi". “Regardless of which approach you prefer, we have to appreciate the consistency of the Republicans for resisting government expansion ….”

Say no to all that is wrong. But all "no's" have a flip side. Say yes to all that is right. Almost all theTen Commandments are in the negative. Figure out the flip side for yourself.(Exod.20:1-7,13-17) Jesus Christ is the leader of the “no” crowd. Say no to all that is wrong. But all “no’s” have a flip side. Say yes to all that is right.

When well-meaning believers (staff or lay people) approach me with an idea for a new program or ministry that doesn't flow with the current vision of our church. I HATE to tell good people no. I don't want to be someone who pours cold water on the dreams of others. I also do not want to miss the Holy Spirit's continuing influence on our direction (wisdom comes from unlikely sources sometimes). Nor do I want to dilute resources into something outside what I believe God is calling us to do. Proverbs 3:5-6 You’ve touched on politics and no one’s touching this blog topic on vision with a 10 foot pole. lol
